Is this a Knock Off? (post here for help)

Not sure if i can. I'm just ripping these pictures straight from the auction site
he has these ones too. I might err on the side of caution. (there is a grimlock too but its not loading for me atm)

Are you sure they are boxes?

It's utter crap isn't it.. really puts a sour taste in my mouth
the way some of them say they're a re-issue / ko edition.
some don't even mention that they're ko.
i pity the guys that are just starting out (for the g1 stuff anyway),.

Hey mate. missed your post. i thought they were, but they're long gone now.

yeah it sure does suck , i dont plan on collecting a hell of alot of g1 but it seems all the figures i do want to pick up , have been ko'd at some point and seem to be flooding the market at the moment sigh.

I don't think those insecticons are even noted as being fakes... the only thing giving it away is the price. If they had been selling them for about $150, people would have jumped on them thinking they were original figures.

There is a guy on ioffer.com doing wholesale transactions from china. Flooding the market very effectively. Has a wide variety of g1 moulds. Worth a look at, if only so you know what to watch out for. The main giveaway with these china ko's is the packaging is bubble on card, inside "original" box. Apart from dinobot bommander grimlock, packaging is nearly 100% accurate. With the g1 rerelease id expect to see more of this crap circulating. Thats my 2 cents anyway......
